- [Crew] Marks please.

Little bit of hush.
- And whatever happens, hope and pray- - Thank you, Poppy.
- We don't get an under run.
- What's an under run?
- Well, it's when we run under.

If there's a gap we have to fill.
- Well, what do we do?
- Keith gives a signal and upstairs they make the telephone ring and we have to answer it.
- On the spot?

- It certainly is.
- No, but 15 million every night.
- Ready studio, in 10.
- I mean, it's the same 15 million.
It's only 15 million, it's not 45 million is it?
It's 15, isn't it?
- Grams and action in three... (upbeat percussive music)
